So I've started putting together my board, I changed and went for a 4x4 instead of 6x6, but may expand it later.



Picture from the front. In the space at the side I wish to add a mountain type bit, with a path going through the middle but unsure how to at the moment.



River going through the fortress.



The foam is where I want the mountain.

Any advice is wanted, thanks

Looks like a nice project, I will follow this!
How big are you planning to let the mountain be?

Looking good so far! Can't wait to see it finished!
Will the river be a water-river, or a lava-river?

Water river, that used to be an old dwarven quarry, that when fighting started stopped being in use and eventually got full of water. I might put bits of gold in it aswell.

The mountain will hopefully be about the size of the foam, dunno how thick though. I want to put a bit of mountain down the middle of the board in between the stairs and platform so one side will be the outside of the fortress and the other bit inside.

Realy nice piece of scenario what else will you add? any builiding?

Ruins eventually, not full buildings as my way of thinking is half of the board will be inside the fortress so I see it as a big building But am hoping to have a ruined tomb there and use MOM stuff

I would love to start a project like this but foam just seems to be so expensive coupled with having to pay crazy prices for this hobby that is something i cannot afford unless you know of somewhere to get fairly cheap foam?

But this board has the beginnings of something special, i will following it with great intent, and much contempt as i wont be playing on it

Wow, this has a lot of potential!

This is where I bought the stuff from http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/02robbo?_trks ... 7675.l2559 it's the cheapest I've found and always comes quickly and in good quality.

I can't wait to actually play on it but will have to wait till I finally finish it, which is taking ages to do each thing due to work, I guess that will make it more worth while when I play on it

Sounds great! Can't wait to see how you'll do that.

So work has got me doing lots of over time which is great for my project as it allows me to buy everything I need

Here's the next step not a big one as I'm in a vital point of my D&D campaign and have been planning loads of it.



I'm using polyfiller to help stabilize my pillars and will eventually build it up to rubble.



The scrap foam will be used for rubble along with sand and stone that is currently drying in my conservatory (it's been there for a week and is still wet)



I know the pillars are different but thats to look like they have been destroyed and stuff from battle, I will weather them aswell if I can find a good way how to.

Still unsure about how to do the mountain so any ideas are welcome

Looking great! Do I detect a hint of Battle For Middle Earth in your design?
